Finally got round to having these fitted Leon cupra r Discs and Calipers 345mm Dia.Thank you to a fellow briskodian for selling them to me. (Mr Hedge).They where a little dirty for my liking so had them re powder coated and i skimmed the discs,Still loads of meat left on them yet.All i can say is christ what a difference wish i had done it sooner. :wonder: .Also changed the brake fluid to AP 550 so touch wood no more brake fade.

v nice, how do you do this, and do those cost much, and do they fit all the models, I am getting an elegance FL next week and would be interested in something to make the brakes look a bit nicer, and of course work a bit better.

although ild settle for just looking nice for now, can they be made look like the vrs brakes

Very nice Chris - now they could complete my set of major brand VAG bits

I can feel a plan coming on...............

Ooooh sexy.

Nice one Chris. Do you plan a rear upgrade? Not that they need it

Very nice, remember to get a new spare wheel as I don't think the original 16" wheel will clear those monsters!

Deep pockets needed .

I have access to some Cupra brakes and my company will pay for my company car extras so I'll be ok

No it wont but if you puncture a front then put the spare on the rear and then use that wheel on the front.

I am so glad you have finally got them on Chris. Of all the things I did to my Ed I think this was the best.

The rear upgrade involves only vented discs on the R32/S3 and also a bigger pistoned caliper which can take away some of the initial snatchiness.

They look good in behind the wheels.

Nice work.

what about those wheels mate? did you get them restored and coloured or are they an extra? i believe skoda do anthracite zeniths. like em.

Standard 18's on the octy vrs just had them powder coated .

I like the wheels too Chris. Given that we are nearby each other, can I ask who did the powder coating for you and was it expensive?

I am looking out for some second hand R32 or equivalent brakes myself. With hindsight, I should have gone this route from the beginning instead of looking at pads only. Alas, they will have to wait a few months more as I have just shelled out for a second hand Twintercooler (in fact, I believe it is Makefish's old one making its way back home to Hampshire )

I had a set of Pescaras done on the Ed30 which are still in the garage.

Thanks chaps, I hadn't heard of them until now but could probably spit out of my car window and hit this place on my way to work most days

I think my standard brakes are good tbh. I would consider the Curpa disks if they were compatible with the VRS calipars?

You need the Cupra R calipers and brake lines, carriers, pads, the whole shebang.
